She's still breathing great on her own today -

...and she had a restful night, which means the chances of her needing to go back on the vent are really slim. So we have true progress :) The next challenge (for the docs) will be how to feed her. The continuous air pressure inadvertently sends air into her stomach, and there's a suction tube in her stomach that lets that air out. So food in her stomach wouldn't really stay put. We'll let you know how all that goes. Thanks for all the prayers and kind posts.
